Sharp Football Analysis launches a 2026 NFL Strength of Schedule tool that lets users view a team’s week-by-week schedule difficulty across 10+ metrics, using Vegas win totals and offseason factors. The tool offers a Weekly Schedule view, a League Rankings chart, and a 2025 comparison to show early favorable starts vs. late-season gauntlets and how the 2026 slate compares to 2025.
After a disappointing 2025 season that ended their playoff streak, Kansas City is projected to have the AFC West's easiest schedule and the 10th-easiest overall in 2026, per Warren Sharp — a potential boost for a rebound year, as the rest of the division' slate orders shift and projections can still change.
New York’s 2026 schedule sits in the middle of the pack (about 24th in strength of schedule) according to Warren Sharp’s Vegas-based model, suggesting a manageable slate rather than a death march. With a 7.5-win projection, this is a “prove it” year where success will hinge on execution and late-game performance more than external hurdles.
The 49ers are projected to have one of the NFL’s easier 2026 schedules, ranking eighth in strength of schedule with a 10.5-win projection, aided by last season’s soft second half that produced 12 wins. The full schedule release is anticipated in May, though the exact date is still being discussed; the top of the easy-SOS list includes Lions, Saints, Bengals, Browns, Jets, Ravens, Eagles, and Chiefs, while the Seahawks and Rams are farther down the list and the Cardinals are projected to have the toughest slate.
The Pittsburgh Steelers are rumored to be considering between Kenny Pickett and Mason Rudolph as their next starting quarterback, sparking criticism from NFL analyst Warren Sharp who labeled the franchise as "unserious" due to their lack of success and the debate over a 2018 draft pick as QB1. This comes after a week of rumors linking the Steelers to big-name quarterbacks, suggesting a shift in their approach to the position.
